Auburn, NY - Cayuga County Sheriff David Gould has issued a "no unnecessary travel restriction" in Cayuga County through 6 p.m.

The restriction means that hazardous conditions exist, but the decision to drive is left to the discretion of the traveler. The Cayuga County Highway Department and the City of Auburn have employed all plows to clear and salt roadways.

If roads are wet or snow is present, drivers are asked to pay extra attention to their vehicle's speed and to other vehicles around them. Special precautions should be taken on curves, hills and bridges which usually freeze before the roadway.

Drivers should also give themselves plenty of stopping distance, especially on icy roads.
